Great video bro! I'm totally inspired by your mixing perspective. I literally hate mixing my beats in a daw smh I'm way too critical and I'm constantly running to the car tweaking every detail to the point I start to hate the beat. I've mixed some beats in standalone then 2-tracked into logic and I got my desired sound a lot faster. In '23 I think I'm gonna mix my beats totally in standalone because I make way too many beats and music should be about fun and expression, not frustration and stress. Thanks for a great video bro.
MALO.. You are blessing to the community my brother. These are the little bumps in the road that I come across, being a Dawless producer, and this is what I needed to see. I just bought a Rodecaster Pro 2, but I also have the Zoom H8, along with the Analog Heat MK2. Great video my brother, have a blessed holiday!🙏🏾✊🏾💚
BIG shout out to you for these MPC Standalone Mixing Tips!!! Simple but super effective! Subscribed not even half way through the first video because you are a great teacher! THANK YOU!!!!
It would be cool if Akai added tons of mixing and mastering presets for any genre that could be further tweaked. It might be hard to implement since everyone uses their MPC a little different though.
@@malobeats going to watch this again later so I can learn tuning my samples to good frequencies and making that space , the beats are there it’s just knowing how to make them sound best possible ,
Incredible insight bro. Got my MPC ONE on the way and already been a 404user (sx and mk2) so this my first MPC. Been a fan of your videos for the longest. Big up
Really dig your channel. Mpc live 2 has been a lot of fun. Thanks for all the good tips. Always clear and easy to understand. It’s been a lot of fun just watching you have fun rockin out. Appreciate your view on music and the creative process.
I love your use of hardware fx on the MPC, it gives your channel a unique style. I've been running my MPC through a 3d binaural panner called the Quasar lately, been pretty cool for getting really ethereal floating chords.
Malo good look my guy, thank you for sharing the knowledge! You helped me figure out how I wanted to start my own channel, and gave me a totally new approach to mixing and producing in standalone. Appreciate what you do for the culture!
Hey brother, thank you so much for supporting the channel and showing the love. Analog heat is a must have in my standalone workflow, I can’t work without it now.
Bro for real I love your approach to this game of music. Your very honest and clear. I do everything in the MPC... Vocals everything... The analog heat sounds pretty good for your gritty Wu Tang style imo. The greatest thing I've learned on the MPC is changing the xyzx efx option to Program so I can automate efx on each track like tape stops and filters.. I also use the zoom H5 as my mixer at times.. 🙏🏿
Is there a video tutorial or something on that somewhere? I’ve used XYFY with effects but I can’t figure out how to record or automate them so it actually … I don’t know how to say it, saves to the beat.
The final sound of the beat is amazing. So crunchy,fat and bright in same time. Well done man! I used to did mixes in DAW same way you did before. Its horrible. Never again! Thank you for this video. It gives me that energy that i try to do it right way. Totally agree with everything you said. Btw. Flavor pro sounds good. I saw some tutorials and it looks like really powerfull plugin that i need to buy. Thank you for your dope video again and please keep going. Your knowledge helps to community a lot. All the best to 2k23🙌
Hey brother, you have no idea how much this means to me and thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I know exactly how you feel since we come from a similar background when it comes down to mixing and it’s such a vibe killer That I do not want to go through ever again myself. This whole entire year has been nothing but fun and my energy with my own music has been at its most high since I’ve chosen to not take my mixes, so serious as I used to, I also feel my mixing has sounded much better now that I’m a lot lighter with it versus me trying to over complicated how are used to.
Recordemos que la mezcla es un rompecabezas así que tenemos que hacer ese barrido de frecuencias para que cada una de ellas encajen bien dónde deben estar
Amazing video Malo, thanks for providing the sample chops and obviously the gems regarding your stand alone process. You are so right regarding the how meticulous and stressful mixing / mastering can be. As always, your beat 🔥❤️🔥🔥💪🏻
@@malobeats your rant was 💯!! Also I've heard some mixed things on the heat but you made that thing really bring out the best of the beat! Do you care about lufs or any mastering metrics?
Any tips for getting the correct amount of loudness once inside the DAW? What levels are your beats at when you import them after this process? Thank you so much, I loved this video a lot
Tengo 4 meses usando la MPC LIVE asta ahora con la práctica de chopeo y muestreo boy algo bien te doy gracias por subir este video por qué se me hace un poco difícil entender estos eq y compresores de emulación análoga ya que vengo de un daw en los que solo ocupo plugins nativos y son todos digitales
Tengo otra pregunta en la MPC es lo mismo que en el daw sabes para mezclar llevo una estructura de ganancia de 18 db para comenzar a nivelar cada uno de los samples
I’m not the best at mixing and mastering, and I’d like to follow your example. So I need something like the electron analog heat for what you’re doing though, or not really? Thank you for your videos and content 🙏🏼
I hear what you're saying and it sounds complicated, anyway the way I make my Beats is one instrument or groups of instrument in the case of a drum set, at a time, what I mean is let's take a drum set, It has multiple frequencies that you have to deal with, so I build a beat from scratch. I realize that's different from sampling, but you got a mix those drums correctly in the beginning to the point where you get a clean and clear drum rhythm going, and then I put a baseline down and tune that instrument to fit with the drums as best as possible, and then all the other instruments will come in one at a time and will be mixed in with the other instruments one at a time, which allows me to produce a beat without using compression and maintains a non-distorted level, when I have all the instruments going, I fine-tune the levels of each instrument, so they do not interfere with the other instruments in a negative way, maybe I'm right maybe I'm wrong but that's the way I do it, because it comes out pretty good.
Hi Malo, thanks for your video! I was wondering what happened to the EH Platform you used to recommend for compression at the end of the chain? Perhaps you’ve realized that the H6’s own compressor is good enough?
Hey, I’m so glad you brought up the EH I really wanted to make this video focused on the plugins within the mpc but I still have to be real and show the analog heat because that is a go to for me, the guitar pedals are always optional and the EH is an amazing stereo bus comp that I highly recommend. I’m currently testing out the ZOOMH6 limiter and comp for the mastering final touch but not yet have it fully mastered. Thank you so much for taking the time here
@@malobeats I’ve realized I’ve made a mistake, too: the Platform goes *before* the Heat, correct? Do you know what’s the logic of that? I’d love if the Elektron people added a compressor / limiter to the Heat, how hard could that be? 😀 I know the OTO Machines’ Boum but I trust Elektron more. Thanks!
Very Good explanation ! Love your Videos Bro, please keep on it. BTW i also use the analog heat, its a Monster Unit 🧨 BTW we already love your two drumkits But we Need to See some new coming 2k23 ?!😎happy new year Brother 🍀
Where do I find the link to download the loops you was working with in your vids bro keen to cop ya sample pack when I get some funds up too is mad informative was interested how U mix n master
It’s tuff but if you stick to it you will get it. took me a while to mix and print a full beat on stand-alone, tbh I love it way better all then the daw. it’s a different feel and sound to me! 2023 is standalone mode nothing else for me. 😊😊😅😅 Puzzlegang
This was a great tutorial.. Is there any Expansion Akai has that offers the same type of FX , the Sp 404 provides.. I want to do everything in 1 unit .. But the Cassette/ Vinyl effects are Cool ..

Have you ever used online mastering services?

The absolute perfect video at the perfect time for me Malo!!!
You have no idea how good it makes me feel, thank you so much for always showing the love and feedback. Nothing but love and blessings to you brother.
Sooo good! I love and I match your philosophy of making music. Keep on keepin' on!

YES, enjoy the simplicity of hardware mixing 👍
Perfect setup. You weren’t lying when you said you can tell the difference without the analog heat 🔥.

Man these are my favorite types of videos it's because of you is the reason why I'm considering the analog heat 😎⚡
Hey brother, thank you so much for supporting the channel and showing the love. Analog heat is a must have in my standalone workflow, I can’t work without it now.
@@malobeatsHey fam do you think the analog heat is better than the audio zulu?Im either going to run with the heat or zulu to run my mpc thru…
Great Lesson and explaination. I get tired of trying to do some much in the DAW. I agree with Sam Poetry.
That mix dirty and clean at the same time. Great video and awesome beat!

Hey brother, this really means a lot coming from you and thank you so much for the love and support
Great video!! Glad I was put on to this channel
Dope setup man 💯 analog heat sounds amazing. 🔥
Thank you brotha 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great video Malo, I rock with the 303/ 404 / heat combo, absolutely love it. A must have in the workflow.
Wish I could like your video more than once! Love the rant too
brother, thank you so much for this love and taking the time to share this with me. 🫡
yeahhh push it out and forget everyone else!!!!!!!! your mix is your mix!!! good work
Great video! Thank you. I’m starting to use my MPC Live with outboard gear. Inspired.

So what does the master channel look like before and after, where was it peaking?
Great Video!
Great video, thx a lot for your energy dude 🔥
The king is back 😊
Very good vision i love your philosophy for the i need to try out !

I just have the sp404 II, and was looking for another device to jam with.

Cmon maaan.... That beat is hard! Real head nod shit!!
Have you ever thought about doing anything with the Maschine mk3 or plus?
excellent video. thanks
Have you ever mixed in a program like FL or Ableton? Not saying it's better just genuinely asking out of curiosity.
This was a great tutorial.. Is there any Expansion Akai has that offers the same type of FX , the Sp 404 provides.. I want to do everything in 1 unit .. But the Cassette/ Vinyl effects are Cool ..
Analog Heat, I badly want that one.
Still can do stuff by gain staging TubeDigga's style and using some MPC Air plugins.
Let"s go!

Crack 🔝🔥
🙏🏽
Hey Malo, do you have a MPC template for download?
Good video abi
You can be creative in a studio or your bedroom. How can a pro studio stop your workflow bro?
I need some new drums
I Have a new announcement coming very soon. I appreciate you taking the time brother.
no maximizing/limiting on the computer?
A ipas with iMPC pro 2 is a standalone setup 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks fam… I learned a lot
the gems tho 💯🦾 thank you...🔥vid
